The Delian League was defensive, and protected the Greek city-states, not to take over Anatolia, which remained under Persian control except for the Greek cities. The 180 cities of the Delian League paid for the navies of Athens, Samos, Chios and Lesbos which were able to keep the Persian navy away and provide ground support for threatened cities. After 30 years the Persians gave up trying to regain control of the cities and left them to their own devices, agreeing in the Peace of Callias not to go beyond specific lines by sea, and accept the independence of the Greek city-states in Asia Minor.

Athens the Persian threat subsided, Athens converted the Delian League into an empire of its own and used its war contributions for its own benefit, and used the League resources to try to dominate Greece, leading to the Peloponnesian War against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. After losing this war by 404 BCE, Athens was stripped of its empire, and became a second rate power. A short time later Persia took the opportunity to reabsorb these cities in Asia Minor and impose the 'King's Peace' on the still-warring Greek city-states in mainland Greece, whose fighting was spilling over into the Persian Empire.

During ancient times almost every foreigner referred to the entire country as PERSIA until March 21, 1935, when Reza Shah Pahlavi asked the international community to call the country Iran - a name that the people of Persia, themselves, used to refer to their country since the Sassanian period. "Iran" means "Land of Aryans". The name Persia is still widely used by many Iranians (pronounced: Eeh-raa-niaan) worldwide as well as in many books, documentaries, movies, etc..

It's in Southwestern Asia, in between Iraq and Afghanistan. However, there is a long story behind Persia. Now the country is called Iran (pronounced ee-ron). There is a province (similar to Canadian provinces or US states) named Fars. A long time ago it was Pars. A tribe moved into Pars about 4,500 years ago from the area between the Caspian and Black Seas. They were 1 of 3 new groups: the 2 others went to Europe and spread to become Europeans. The other one went to Northern India and its descendants can be found there. Those who migrated to Pars had to pay homage to many different empires throughout time. 2,000 years after their migration, here is what happened: around the year 560 BCE, Cyrus the Great, the Persians' leader, united the Medians and Persians. One enemy kingdom after another fell to Cyrus. In the West they made it to the Western edge of Turkey before stopping at the Ocean; in the Southeast they made it to Egypt before the Nubians stopped them in the South; In the South they made it to Northern Saudi Arabia before the tribes stopped them there; in the East they made it to India and China before their campaign resources ran dry. The empire began around 550 BCE and lasted until around 330 BCE when Alexander the Great of Macedonia(Northern Greece, basically) conquered the Persians because the Persian government was weaker than in the old days. That was the 1st Persian Empire. Later, the Greeks started the Seleucid Empire which lasted until around 220 BCE, then the Persians regained control around 220 BCE until 220 CE. Then the Sassanians took over from 220 CE to around 650 CE and then the Muslim Arabs took over until around 1000 CE. After that a bunch of little empires ruled over Iran for maybe 100 or more years at a time, but it never again regained the glory of being the only country in the world. Today, Persians are a very smart people and are oftentimes doctors and engineers in countries that they immigrate to. Many can be found in the US, and they speak Farsi.
Persia originated in central Asia. Eventually it included a huge empire stretching from Western India to Greece in the north and Egypt in the south, including the entire area of Mesopotamia.
Persian means Iranian, and Iran is located at almost center of the middle east

Dariush the Great (522-486) ruled the Persian Empire of the Achamenids. He was NOT the son of Cyrus, he was in fact, from the junior line of the Achamenid clan, and came to power after Kambyz, son of Cyrus.

Darisuh (Darayavaush) actually wrested control from Bardya, nicknamed "the Magian" with the help of several conspirators from powerful influential Persian famillies, including Gavaruba (Gobryas). Whether he really was Cyrus' son or an imposteur is still in dispute.

Darius expanded the borders of the empire, which reached the Indus river and brought the rich provinces of modern day Pakistan into the Persian Empire. Before he embarked on any external conquests however, he had to quell uprisings and rebellions that threatened to death whole provinces of the empire, with the help of his old Spearbearer elite Imperial guard (2 regiments of 1,000 men) and the Immortal division (10,000 men). To commemorate their deeds and allegiance, he carved their portraits at his palaces of Susa and Persepolis. His object was to impose peace within his empire, and he extended its borders to establish defensible frontiers.

Dariush then faced a revolt by the Ionian Greeks in Asia Minor, which was put down in some dozen battles such as Ephesos, Chios, Pedasus, Labraunda, Miletos, Naxos, Malene, Lade etc. His object was to impose peace within his empire, and he extended its borders to establish defensible frontiers, however Eretria and Athens had intervened in the Ionian Revolt and he sent a punitive expedition against them in 490 BC. Eretria was betrayed and captured, but Athens, with the help of Plataia, turned this expedition back at Marathon.

Dariush' strength accomplished the submission of Macedon, Thrace and some northern Greek cities, and after the debacle at Marathon he realised that the only way to keep the Greeks quiet was to bring all the mainland cities within his empire. However he died before achieving this and the mission was taken up by his son Xerxes.

Dariush was known as a great admnistrator and skillful politician who held the empire together in spite of the early threats of separatism from Babylonians, Medes, Carians, Greeks and Egyptians.

The Persian Empire was an absolute monarchy. It was divided into 20 provinces (satrapies) each with a governor responsible to the king and his council for local and external security and tax collection. The tribal, city and petty kingdoms in the provinces continued to rule themselves according to their traditional ways.

On the contrary he united the Hellenes under his rule and planned an invasion of Persia as retribution for the Persian wars and to stop Persia who was oppressing Greek colonies in Asia Minor. He died however before this happened, and after his son Alexander III the Great reasserted his leadership of the Hellenes, he continued his fathers plan and conquered most of the then known world.

After 50 years of warfare trying to enforce peace amongst the Greek city-states, the Persians agreed in 449 BCE to peace and left the Greek cities to go back to destroying each other, and turned their full attention to maintaining peace and prosperity within their empire. They intervened 60 years later, imposing the 'King's Peace' to stop these disruptions spilling over into their empire.
